Houses insulation – an integral part of high -quality repair. Log houses also need good thermal insulation. For these purposes, you should choose a high -quality ventilated facade system that allows you to “breathe”. Air layer is also an excellent insulator. Yes, and insulation of the existing building is much cheaper than building a price house for which frankly high. And now everything in order.
We are preparing for the cold
First, the wall should be treated with an antiseptic and fire means. Then all the cracks between the logs are browned in Pacley or Jute. One of the options is to blow them with mounting foam. When the preparatory work is completed, a crate from a vertical timber is attached to the facade. The distance between the rails should minimally exceed the width of the sheets of insulation (50 cm). Otherwise, the cladding will be done longer.
A vapor barrier is applied before the direct process of insulation, after which the sheets of insulation are attached from below-up with dowels. For log houses, the optimal solution will be mineral wool or glass wool, since these materials fit tightly to the uneven surface of the walls. It is worth emphasizing that excessive clamping force also violates the operational indicators of the insulation.
Further, with the help of a stapler, a waterproofing layer is attached to the longitudinal beams, which protects the insulation from moisture and prevents blowing with air flows circulating in the layer of air.
The last stage of insulation is the installation of facing panels on load -bearing beams. Siding, lining or blockhouse is ideal as a facade. Do not forget to leave a gap of 2-4 cm between the outer panels and the waterproofing canvas. This technology will cost much cheaper than buying a house from a turnkey log. The price of which is very high due to the environmental friendliness of materials.
If you value the comfort of wooden houses, but you cannot afford a new one – this option is for you.
